Focus and Features:
|
||||||
|
*******************
|
||||||
|
- 100% decentralized: running your code on your hardware with your
|
||||||
|
broker's data feeds **is the point** (this is not a web-based *I
|
||||||
|
don't know how to run my own system* project).
|
||||||
|
- Built on a highly reliable next-gen [actor
|
||||||
|
model](https://github.com/goodboy/tractor) with built in async
|
||||||
|
streaming and scalability protocols allowing us avoid clunky
|
||||||
|
object-oriented-heavy APIs
|
||||||
|
- Production grade, highly attractive native UIs that feel and fit like
|
||||||
|
a proper pair of skinny jeans; only meant to be used with a proper
|
||||||
|
tiling window manager (no, we are not ignorant enough to roll our own).
|
||||||
|
- Sophisticated charting capable of processing large data sets in real-time
|
||||||
|
while sanely displaying complex models and strategy systems.
|
||||||
|
- Built-in support for *hipstery* indicators and studies that you
|
||||||
|
probably haven't heard of but that the authors **know** generate alpha
|
||||||
|
when paired with the right strategies.
|
||||||
|
- Emphasis on collaboration through sharing data, ideas, and processing
|
||||||
|
power.
|
||||||
|
- Adoption is very low priority, especially if you're not an experienced
|
||||||
|
trader; the system is not built for sale it is built for *people* who
|
||||||
|
work as independent computational traders.
|
||||||
|
- No, we will never have a "corporation friendly license".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Fitting with these tenets, we're always open to new framework suggestions and ideas.
